For The Jaguar XK has GT refinement, sports car sharpness and great looks. It's roomy in the front and the engines sound fabulous.
Against There's no denying it: this model is expensive to buy and run. Plus, the rear seats are useless, so it's effectively a two-seater.
What Car? says
The latest XK mixes grand tourer refinement and sports car sharpness in a stunning package.
There are 3 Jaguar XK Series editions available
Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
There's not a huge amount of choice in the XK range. Essentially, it boils down to just how fast you want to go – XK or XKR? – and whether you want a soft- or a hard top, a coupe or a convertible. Whichever you plump for, you'll get a stunning-looking car that mixes GT refinement with sports car sharpness.
However, you can expect high running costs on any model - and not much room in the back seats. If you want your XK to stand out even more, in addition to the usual range of Jaguar accessories, you can also choose from the Portfolio range, which includes items to improve your car's stereo as well as the way your car looks and drives.
